APRS® BEACON station is possible, even if the beacon station is moving.·

Waypoint data (Data in/out) is available from the ACC connector on the rear of the main unit. It is possible to acquire your current position (Latitude/Longitude) by connecting an aftermarket GPS receiver to the data port on the back of the radio.

Sub-Band APRS® operation may be active in the background, even when operating in the Mono-Band Display mode.

SmartBeaconing™ from HamHUD Nichetronix is able to modify its own beacon rate in response to the motion of the vehicle. Since the APRS network has limited bandwidth, SmartBeaconing™ transmits an optimal amount of position information with a minimal amount of QRM to other network users - making FTM-350R users some of the most "efficient" on the network.
